My middle finger has gotten progressively more swollen and painful for the last 24 hours, and i don't know what i did to cause this?

Swollen finger: Go to ER immediately. You could have an infection which if not treated promptly, could result in possible blood infection or loss of function of finger, or it could be autoimmune / lyme -like disease disease. Since the risk from infection is so great go to ER.
